- Authors
RYAN, GREG
- Abstract
The given text is a collection of book reviews from the New Zealand Journal of History. The first review discusses a book called "Sure to Rise," which explores the history of the Edmonds cookery book and brand in New Zealand. The reviewer praises the book for its informative and visually appealing content, but also mentions some minor criticisms. The second review discusses a book titled "Rugby League in New Zealand: A People's History" by Ryan Bodman. The reviewer commends the book for its comprehensive coverage of rugby league in New Zealand, highlighting its significance as a standalone sport rather than just a counterpart to rugby union. The reviewer also mentions the book's exploration of class tensions, the role of Māori and Pasifika communities, and the impact of neoliberalism on the sport.
